Jenna Quinn tells parents to start the conversation with three, easy-to-understand words - No. Go. Tell. The simple message lets the child know that it’s okay to do something about what is happening to them, a touch or suggestion that makes them uncomfortable - even if it comes from a family member or friend. “They should say, “NO,” like they mean it; GO away to someplace safe; and, TELL someone they trust,” says Quinn.
